I have found that using this oil only on the motor and any pulley shafts will prolong any restoration. Using light household oil on shafts is fine but in a motor, it tends to accumulate excess and attract dirt, slowing the motor.
A motor is properly assembled if it spins for more than 5 seconds after power is removed.

Depends on the changer. Duals use Shell Gadus, chain oil, and 10w machine oil as per manual.
